Okay so I was a day late for updating. Really really sorry but I was fixing up the complete version of SFIT for dA.
I still don't own anything~
GoGo woke up with a start. He ran a hand through his messy black mop of hair then laid on his back. He groaned as he felt his back ache from the cold and hard tile floor. He heard a barely there sound of pattering feet against the tile but disregarded it. Hiro might have been up already. He turned his face and body toward the couch Hiro was supposedly sleeping on but furrowed his brows later on when he felt the soft and thin hand making its way from the couch above. The hand held on to his shirt sleeve tightly, as if the person who had it was conscious. GoGo gulped then took a peek on who the person was.
"H-Hiro," GoGo whispered
Hiro's eyes opened very slightly. She had a worried look on her face as she bit her lip. It was obvious that she already knew what was going on. GoGo closed his eyes and laid back down on the ground, pretending to sleep, as the sounds of a pair of feet walking towards them got louder and louder. They kept quiet for a while until they heard the creaking of the front door and the door knob doing its job. Five minutes passed that Hiro and GoGo waited and stayed on their positions. It was GoGo who had the nerve to move first. He made his way from where the uninvited guest came from, the closet.
"If the main purpose of that person was the closet then that's someone who's been watching you ever since." He whispered, looking over at the door
Hiro stood up as well then followed GoGo. They stared at the door of the closets, unsure if they should open it or not.
"Jack?" Hiro whispered to her earpiece
"I'm up. What's the problem?" Jack replied
"Can you see if Hiccup has footage from my closet room just a few minutes ago? I know I left my phone in there." Hiro replied
The two had to wait a couple minutes before Jack had returned.
"Hiro, move out of that house in the morning. I don't care where but move out. Got it?" Jack instructed
"Why? What's in there?"
"There's nothing now but there was a person just half an hour ago. They seemed to be looking for something. They looked through your closets for a while and trashed the room. They wrote something on the wall. Hiro, if I don't get news that you're out of there in the morning, I will come pick you up personally." Jack replied
Hiro opened the room then looked around at the dark place. She shuddered ever so lightly then flicked the switch on. She flinched at the sight of her clothing thrown to the ground recklessly and the paint of the walls ruined.
"Do it or else."
Were the writings on the wall
GoGo let out a sigh of relief.
"Oh thank goodness I pressed this button." he stated then pressed the same button, which was the one on the lampshade sitting on the table next to the door
The walls of the two closets reversed then the gadgets were revealed, safe and sound.
"Thank you." Hiro whispered, walking closer to the gadgets
"So I'm guessing you won't be here for a while." GoGo said, still standing at the doorway, "You know, it's just right that you won't. I'm afraid they'll kill my partner."
Hiro sighed, "Well it was fun while it lasted."
Then Monday quickly came and it was time for Hiro's Chemistry test. She had stayed at the house for the remaining days of the weekend until she had her things fixed up at her new place. Now no one, except for her and her friends, excluding the headquarters, knew where she would live temporarily. She, Honey Lemon, and GoGo were so indulged in reading and studying that they have not realized that their other three friends were staring at them, as if waiting for them to at least make eye contact. Hiro coughed out once then the three boys sighed in relief, making the studying trio look up at them curiously.
"We thought you were dead." Fred stated
"We did not." Wasabi pointed out, "But you three are too focused. You do know that you can ace Chemistry, right?"
"Wasabi's right. And anyways, we wanna have lunch with you." Tadashi inputted
Honey Lemon, Hiro, and GoGo stared at their friends then went back to studying.
"Oh come on!" Wasabi exclaimed, "Finals is nearing, we won't have too much time with each other left."
"Wasabi is right." Fred agreed, "We should do something fun on Friday night."
"And what fun will that be?" Honey Lemon asked
"Oh, just a little thing called amusement park!" Fred replied giddily
"By the way, why wasn't I invited the last time you three went out?" GoGo looked up from his book
"Uh," Wasabi rubbed his nape
"You see," Fred started
"Don't worry, GoGo, I'm sure you had fun with Hiro." Tadashi interrupted, removing the tension from them to the couple
Hiro placed her book on the table, "Why am I included in this one? I'm not even talking!"
"Wait, speaking of Hiro," GoGo looked over to his 'girlfriend' then back at his friends
"Oh, right, that." Hiro nodded, "Well, GoGo and I had finally decided to live in together. Like a married couple."
Tadashi raised his eyebrows, "Isn't Hiro a little bit too young to be living away from home?"
"Technically, my adoption papers aren't completed yet so I'm kind of on the free side. And besides, my family knows I'm living with an eighteen year old." Hiro replied
Hiro's and GoGo's watch beeped once then they pulled out their phones.
"Hiro, report to headquarters. Meeting. I'll see you there in ten." Jack said through the earpiece
"Uniform?" Hiro asked
"It's required. Now go." Jack answered
Hiro put her phone back in her pocket then looked at GoGo who was already waiting for her. Hiro bit her lip as she listened to the conversation of her friends. She dragged the blue pin out of her hair then combed her hair.
"Uh, I'm gonna go to the restroom for a while." She said then stood up from the table
She walked a few distance to the restroom until her knees turned weak slowly as she struggled to get up. She hugged her stomach tightly as she made a run for the restroom.
"I think Hiro's not feeling very well." Honey Lemon stated
GoGo tried to not applaud the younger girl. She still had her good acting skills. He got up from his seat as he followed the girl to the room. Hiro was standing at the doorway with her arms crossed.
"Why now?" She groaned, "Can you get me my bag? My uniform's in there."
"Okay." GoGo nodded then went off to get Hiro's bag
He went back to the bathroom and waited outside until Hiro had finished wearing her uniform then putting her blue hoodie and zipping it up. She wore her black skirt and boots and placed her old clothes in her bag. GoGo went back to the table and grabbed his bag.
"Where are you going?" Tadashi asked
"Hiro's not feeling well. I need to take her home." GoGo answered
"Alright, take care of her well." Honey Lemon said then GoGo walked off to the restroom where the other spy was waiting
They exited the cafeteria after a while then rushed out the building.
"Where are you gonna change?" Hiro asked as she and GoGo walked towards the headquarters, removing her hoodie and placing it in her bag all the while
"At the headquarters." GoGo answered
"Alright then. I'll see you at the main lobby, okay? I'm gonna head over to Jack's first." Hiro replied
GoGo nodded then they hurried off to the headquarters, curious as to what the meeting was all about. Maybe it was about who was going to be let go of. Or maybe another threat is posed on the society itself. All Hiro and GoGo knew was that the meeting was big that they all needed to cooperate.
The two arrived and walked inside the tall gray building. They separated ways as soon as they got inside, Hiro to the G.U.A.R.D.I.A.N.S.'s room and GoGo to the nearest restroom to change. Hiro pushed open the door and entered with a smile.
"I'm back you guys!" She announced
The heads of the five workers inside the room looked up and gave her back a smile before going back to their jobs. Hiro walked over to Jack's workplace then set her school bag down, under Jack's table.
"So what's the big meeting all about?" She asked
"I can't answer questions." Jack replied as he shut down his computer
"Why?" Hiro questioned, "Is it big?"
"Yes." Jack nodded, "But you're gonna have to wait to know. For now, though, you need to go at the lobby and get your name checked."
"What's so big that I actually have to attend in uniform, which I absolutely hate by the way, and I have to get my attendance checked too?" Hiro raised a brow
"New law." Jack answered then pushed Hiro out the door
Hiro rolled her eyes then made her way to the all too familiar lobby. It had been years since she had attended her first meeting. She was told that the grown ups often had more than the regular meetings than those who were teens and children but for this meeting, she saw the twins, Pine Tree and Shooting Star, who were the youngest for the time being so Hiro thought that this was going to be a big meeting if the children and teens were called. Hiro stood amongst the crowded place, the people with her all clueless. All of the spies were standing at the ground floor, the equipment team, background team, Guardians, and the rest of the staff on the second floor platform above them.
"So you got a clue?"
Hiro turned to the right and saw her Chemistry classmate.
"No, but it's really important." Hiro replied
Someone using the microphone cleared thir throat then caught the attention of the people.
"Good afternoon, agents." North stated, his thick Russian accent audible, "Sorry for disruption but we are in grave danger."
Everyone kept quiet but their minds were buzzing with thought about what the danger was.
"I will need all cooperation from everyone." North continued, "One day of year is in danger if not."
What is it?
"I need all of you to save this day!" North boomed, "We need to save Christmas!"
"What?!" Hiro raised a brow then turned to his friend who just shrugged
"We need to do it by picking person who will give gift from this," North pulled up a huge clear bowl filled with small rolled up papers, "bowl."
"I missed a Chemistry test for this?!" Hiro exclaimed, "I'm gonna fail the class!"
"Now don't worry, you will like next announcement." North continued, "But that is for later. Now we pick!"
One by one, people were called and were asked to go up the front to pick their exchange gift buddy. Hiro was soon given the chance, seeing it was by age and Hiro was one of the few who were still minors. She unrolled the piece of paper then read the codename written on it.
"Rider?" She murmured then groaned, "Of course I'm gonna pick him."
Soon enough, GoGo was lined up and he picked from the bowl. He read the name.
"Tooth Fairy." He said, "Not bad."
Later on, the last one was finished and everyone went back to listening to North.
"This announcement will make you happy." North chuckled heartily, "Tooth Fairy will tell you."
Toothiana walked to the front and smiled at the crowd.
"Hi everyone," she started, "okay first off, teens and children under the age of sixteen, you are dismissed from the meeting. Have a good day to you all. And keep safe!"
A handful of young teenagers exited the lobby and once each of them had went out of the lobby and closed the door behind them, Tooth continued.
"This is the time of year you've all been waiting for." Tooth announced
"Isn't that time Christmas?" Hiro asked GoGo
He shook his head no, a payful smile on his face.
"It's the annual ball!" Tooth continued and the room rejoiced
Chattering was heard from all of the corners of the room, even the people on the second floor were excited about the announcement. Hiro stood there, wide eyed.
"Th-The ball?" Hiro asked, turning to the boy, "The ball?"
"Yep." GoGo nodded, "You're not a little kid anymore!"
Hiro grinned brightly. She suddenly cannot wait for winter break.
"The ball will happen on December twentieth, mark your calendars. There will be invitations waiting for you before you go out and all the details are there. I hope we all have fun at that time and to the first timers, welcome to our annual ball. I hope you find it interesting." Tooth smiled at the people, "That will be all for now. Go back to your stations and we'll see all of you on the twentieth. Keep safe!"
Hiro and GoGo proceeded to the exit and grabbed one invitation each. Hiro held her excitement bottled up inside her as she and GoGo arrived at his house, her temporary shelter.
"The ball! I'm really going to the ball!" Hiro jumped up and acted like a kid who got ten jars filled with gummy bears, "I'm excited!"
GoGo smiled at her then sat on the couch, "I don't think you've read the invitation yet."
"Well it's probably all about the time and attire, right?" Hiro asked
"Technically, yes, but look again."
Hiro looked down at the piece of paper in her hands then read the words imprinted on it.
"This is to invite you, a dear agent, to the thirtieth annual ball of the spy society. This year, the ball will be held on the twentieth of December 2032 starting at six in the evening. The ball will take place at former Agent Superhero's mansion, scan the back of this invitation for the map from your location to the area. Formal attire is required and the attendant should have a date. We hope to see you there." Hiro read then frowned
She looked up at GoGo with sad written all over her face, "I need a date?"
GoGo nodded, "Why did you think I didn't go?"
"Because you're... anti-social?" Hiro asked
GoGo glared at the younger girl, "No! Because I don't want to get a date. I mean, you don't get a date for only one thing, you get a date for a long term relationship."
"Wow, that's really deep." Hiro murmured, "But still, I really really wanna go to the ball. I hope someone asks me out." Hiro frowned and looked down sadly
"Someone will, don't worry. I think every boy your age likes you." GoGo replied
"But I'm the only sixteen years old!" Hiro exclaimed
GoGo sighed exasperatedly. "That's not my point. I meant your age group."
Hiro nodded but a frown still played on her face, "I still don't know. I mean, sure at least one guys likes me but do I like him back? No. Do I go on an awkward night with him? No." she groaned, "This is frustrating."
"It isn't frustrating if you're not thinking about it." GoGo pointed out
Hiro stared at the boy for a while then plopped down on the couch next to him, "Fair enough. What do you want for dinner then? I'm gonna pay."
"What do you mean you're gonna pay?" GoGo raised a brow
"Take out of course. So Chinese or...?"
"I don't think you should live off of take out. How long have you been having ordered dinners?" GoGo asked
"Since I got deployed, why?" Hiro turned to the older boy
GoGo stood up and gestured for Hiro go do the same, "Come on, I'm gonna teach you how to cook."
They walked over to the tiny kitchen then GoGo brought out the ingredients which were mainly a few pieces of raw chicken and two eggs. He walked over to the sink and opened the closet above. He brought out the flour, the salt and the finely ground black pepper. He placed them all on the counter, the one Hiro was sitting on. He walked over to the clean dishes by the side of the sink and got a bowl big enough for the chicken, a plate, and a fork.
"So what are you cooking?" Hiro tilted her head to the right
"No, what are you cooking. Now go crack those eggs in the bowl." GoGo instructed
Hiro went down from the counter and cracked the eggs, putting the contents inside the bowl. GoGo gave her the fork which she used as a whisk.
"You think I can't beat an egg, huh?" Hiro raised a brow
"Okay, that's good now. Put in the salt and the pepper." GoGo said, disregarding Hiro's remarks Hiro put the fork down then grabbed the half full containers.
She dumped the salt and pepper in the beaten eggs, trying her best to keep the combination with equal amount. Once she deemed it was enough, she beat the eggs again for a little while. Hiro then added the chicken wings and started to coat it with the egg mixture, all the while, GoGo was preparing the plate and the flour. She put a decent amount of coating on the chicken and rolled it around the flour.
"You're pretty good at this." GoGo stated
"I know, right?"
"Beginner's luck." GoGo smirked as he started heating the pan then the oil
He grabbed a pair of tongs from the pile of cooking utensils then handed it over to the girl. Hiro breathed in deeply then placed the chicken to the oil.
"Don't worry about it much. You're going to deep fry it." GoGo said, "Although, you should really listen to it. Once the sound stops, flip it over."
Hiro nodded then waited for a while then flipped the chicken over. She sat back down on the counter as the other side cooked. Meanwhile, GoGo was preparing the table where the two of them will eat.
"I think it's cooked." GoGo said after twenty minutes
Hiro turned the stove off then placed the chicken on a plate. She walked over to the table prepared for them and served it to the older boy then sat on the vacant seat in front of him. GoGo picked up a chicken wing from the plate then put it on his and tore off a small part of the skin and meat. He neared it to his mouth and ate it. He furrowed his brows then coughed a little bit. Hiro, seemingly alarmed, took a small bite from a small piece of chicken leg. She grabbed her glass filled with water then drank half of it.
"It's too salty." She remarked, "I told you we should've ordered take out. I'm calling now."
"No! Don't. It's okay." GoGo stated
"Are you sure? This tastes like salt basically. I can't even find the chicken." Hiro looked at her food, disgust written over her face
"Yeah it's a little bit salty but that's fine with me." GoGo replied
"Rider are you sick?" Hiro looked at him as if he was crazy
"No. Why?" GoGo looked at her strangely
"Why? You're asking me why while you're eating this, this... thing without a complaint?" Hiro almost yelled
GoGo shrugged, "Just don't think about it."
He took another bite on the chicken and munched quietly, looking back at the girl
Phew. So we're entering those chapters where it's all mystery-y and I mean mystery-y enough. Plus, I have another trick up my sleeves by the end. Two actually. So, did you like it?
